The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority is excited to announce a new partnership with RePlastic Recycle that will introduce plastic recycling services to Peter’s Rest Convenience Center beginning Monday, April 27. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in VIWMA’s commitment to expanding recycling opportunities and reducing the volume of waste entering the territory’s landfills.
Through this partnership, residents will now be able to drop off clean plastics #1, #2, and #5 at a designated RePlastic Recycle station located within the existing household trash disposal area at Peter’s Rest Convenience Center. The service will operate Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with trained RePlastic Recycle attendants on-site to guide residents in proper preparation and sorting—making recycling easier, clearer, and more accessible for every household.
This initiative directly supports VIWMA’s long-term strategy to increase diversion of recyclable materials, extend the lifespan of the territory’s landfills, promote responsible resource recovery, and strengthen a culture of environmental stewardship across the U.S. Virgin Islands. By expanding convenient recycling options, VIWMA continues to promote the vision of a modern, sustainable, and community-centered waste management system.
“We are committed to providing residents with more accessible and environmentally responsible options for managing waste,” said Executive Director Hannibal “Mike” Ware of the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority. “This partnership with RePlastic Recycle strengthens our shared mission to protect our islands, reduce plastic pollution, and support a cleaner, healthier Virgin Islands for generations to come.”
